After a week that saw the North Shore Navigators start their first winning streak of the young 2016 season, the team got some exciting news regarding one of their players. It was announced on Monday that Mike D'Acunti was named the Futures League Players of the Week, becoming the first Navigator to win the award in the 2016 season.

"Mike really helped to spark our offense this week," said Navigators General Manager Bill Terlecky, "He certainly is deserving of this award because of his great performance."

D'Acunti, a rising senior at Southeastern University, had a monster week for the team. Playing in seven games this past week, D'Acunti was an offensive catalyst for the Navigators. He hit a whopping .448 during the seven games and he cracked his first home run of the season during his stretch. He also totaled five doubles, a triple, and managed to drive in eight runs for the Navigators on the week.

He displayed positional versatility during the week as well. D'Acunti played four different positions including catcher, first base, left field, and designated hitter in the seven games.

D'Acunti's best day came on Saturday when he helped lead the Navigators to a sweep of the Brockton Rox in a doubleheader. During the two games, he went a combined 5-8 and scored four of the teams runs during the contest. He drove in three runs en route to the two victories.

D'Acunti will look to stay hot during the Navigators upcoming five game home stand that starts this Tuesday when the Navigators take on the Wachusett Dirt Dawgs. There will also be a Firework Friday game this on Friday, June 24 with first pitch scheduled for 7:00 p.m. The fireworks display will take place roughly 15 minutes after the game.
